Title: How to use ssl-certificates with no host name?
Post by: holck on December 10, 2009, 09:55:29 PM

I want people to refer to my server as only the domain name, not host name + domain name, ie. as "mydomain.dk", not "myserver.mydomain.dk". But the template files for the web server and the mail server seem to always assume that the ssl-certificates will be for host + domain, not domain only.

I have now created the following custom template files:

/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home/e-smith/ssl.pem/20key
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home/e-smith/ssl.pem/40crt
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/35SSL10SSLCertificateFile

and in these files deleted the references to host name.

This works OK, but isn't there a more elegant way to do this?

Best,
Jesper

This has been a db command for some time, here's one reference found by searching on CommonName

http://wiki.contribs.org/Certificate#Custom_Certificate_for_SME_7.1.3_and_above
which says
config setprop modSSL CommonName www.domain.com
expand-template /home/e-smith/ssl.crt/crt
expand-template /home/e-smith/ssl.key/key
signal-event domain-modify
signal-event email-update
